Aqua Girl 2012: The Ten Best Events, From Pool Parties to "Lesbian Ultra"

Who cares about May flowers when it's time for Sapphic sisters to rejoice? Once again, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian women get to indulge their baser natures with the arrival of Aqua Girl.

Organized by the Aqua Foundation for Women, Aqua Girl offers five days' worth of events for women who love women. You get to enjoy 14 culturally diverse, deliciously dyke-y festivities such as dance parties, stand-up comedy, film, pool parties, a tea dance, and a brunch.

And you also get to feel good about yourself -- and not just because you hooked up with that cute boi in the Diesel jeans and wifebeater. All of the proceeds from Aqua Girl go to the foundation, which serves as a "funding catalyst for lesbian, bisexual, and transgender wellness and equality in South Florida through grants, scholarships and initiatives." Sounds good to us -- and the myriad women from around the globe that make it to South Beach each and every year to enjoy five days of female solidarity (and hook-ups).

Pool PartiesAqua Girl's pool parties are notoriously good fun. This year you have the Splash Pool Party and The Beach House, both taking place at the Surfcomber Hotel. Join oodles of women going out of their way to get wet. Boogie to killer mixes spun by hot DJs (including lesbian superstar icon Tracy Young), splash around in the pool, lounge around in the sun, or hang out in one of the rooftop VIP areas.
